• Notes

  According to the History of Penobscot County Maine (Cleveland: Williams, Chase & Co. 1882, page 263), W.H. Maling was "one of the oldest lumberman on the Penobscot," having gone into the lumber business at the age of 16. In 1847 he moved to Lincoln, Penobscot Co, ME, and in 1862 to Brewer, where he was living at the time of publication in 1882. He also resided in Medway and Winn previously. In Thayer & Ames' publication, Brewer, Orrington-Holden, Eddington History and Families (Brewer: L.H. Thompson, Inc. 1962), the authors state, "W.H. Maling, born May 7, 1825, was one of the oldest lumberman on the Penobscot River. He went into the lumber business at the age of sixteen and settled in Brewer in 1862, after having lived in Lincoln, Medway and Winn. He was connected with the Milford Land and Lumber company and is said to have explored and located as much timberland as any other man on the river."
